I'm gonna miss him

This is my papa. Growing up I didn't have a dad, so he was as close as it got. He served in the military as a tank commander in Berlin when the Berlin Wall was being built. And my family told me how he cried when it finally came down. This man took me on my first fishing trip, and taught me how to clean a fish. He told me about life as a trucker, and I often stayed up late with him when he was on call as a dispatcher. He's been in and out of hospitals for the past couple years and today he passed away, and I don't really have anyone to talk to about this, and since when he passed he was out of state, I won't be able to attend the funeral. so I just wanted to put this here, as my own form of remembrance. Rest in peace Papa Dave, I'll miss you
